Indikasjoner:

Olanzapine Tablets are indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia. Efficacy was established in three clinical trials in adult patients with schizophrenia: two 6 week trials and one maintenance trial. In adolescent patients with schizophrenia (ages 13 to 17), efficacy was established in one 6 week trial [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ]. When deciding among the alternative treatments available for adolescents, clinicians should consider the increased potential (in adolescents as compared with adults) for weight gain and dyslipidemia. Clinicians should consider the potential long-term risks when prescribing to adolescents, and in many cases this may lead them to consider prescribing other drugs first in adolescents [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 ) ]. Olanzapine Tablets are indicated for the acute treatment of manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder and maintenance treatment of bipolar I disorder. Efficacy was established in three clinical trials in adult patients with manic or mixed episo

MEDICATION GUIDE
Olanzapine (oh LAN za peen) Tablets
Read the Medication Guide that comes with olanzapine tablets before
you start taking them and each time
you get a refill. There may be new information. This Medication Guide
does not take the place of talking to
your doctor about your medical condition or treatment. Talk with your
doctor or pharmacist if there is
something you do not understand or you want to learn more about
olanzapine tablets.
What is the most important information I should know about olanzapine
tablets?
Olanzapine tablets may cause serious side effects, including:
1.
Increased risk of death in elderly people who are confused, have
memory loss and have lost touch
with reality (dementia-related psychosis).
2.
High blood sugar (hyperglycemia).

These serious side effects are described below.
1. Increased risk of death in elderly people who are confused, have

Your doctor should do tests to check your blood sugar before you start
taking olanzapine tablets and during
